My daughter is a vegetarian, not a vegan, and she eats fish which makes her something else that I can’t remember right now.

Pescatarian is the word you're looking for. She's a pescatarian, not a vegetarian.

I do believe cancer is fairly new

Why would you believe that? We've found melanoma in mummified remains dating back 4,000 years, and tell tale signs in bone in very early fossils of a variety of animals.

How can celebrating the Sabbath on the seventh day of the week (aka Saturday) be false? Might check back in with the Ten Commandments.

I believe the science is not conclusive.

"A study of ancient bodies has determined that cancer is a man-made disease, one fueled by the excesses. Tumors turn out to be extremely rare until very recent times, when pollution and poor diet became issues.

Researchers analyzed potential references to the disease in classical literature, and also searched for signs in the fossil record and in mummified bodies. But despite examining tissue from hundreds of Egyptian mummies, they confirmed only one case of cancer

According to the Daily Mail:

"Dismissing the argument that the ancient Egyptians didn't live long enough to develop cancer, the researchers pointed out that other age-related disease such as hardening of the arteries and brittle bones did occur ...

Fossil evidence of cancer is also sparse, with scientific literature providing a few dozen, mostly disputed, examples in animal fossil".

Oh I can buy more common, absolutely. However, anyone with a basic knowledge of biology should rightly scoff at the idea that cancer did not exist in antiquity. All mammals, reptiles, avian etc will eventually develop cancer if they live long enough. All it takes is one aged gene to fail in but one of the bodies cells, and voila neoplastic growth, aka cancer.

In order for cancer to not exist. The gene that regulates cell growth would have to be perfect in every cell in every body of every creature on the planet at every point in time. In other words, impossible.

Is that sort of like an Episcopalian?

Hey Vegans, starve yourselves to death. It’s painless and the right thing to do!

My daughter is a vegetarian...

My younger son is as well, but eats eggs, cheese, fish and drinks milk. He seem to be doing just fine, but it's a PITA feeding him when he brings his veggies & dairy only girlfriend along.

You might want to check in with Hooked on Phonics and learn to read. I never mentioned the Sabbath.

Bill Clinton, hasn’t he become a vegan? My money says he eats meat when no one is around.
Your definition fits him to a tee.

>>>Why do humans have canine teeth? We were designed to eat meat.>>>

Humans don’t have canine teeth. Our teeth are flat. I tend to believe in the Bible and the God’s original diet. I think he knows best. There was no death, no death means no meat. Pretty simple.

I won’t respond to the rest of the superficial and shallow posts. Clearly, not to many Bible scholars here on FB. And even fewer who have any knowledge of Seventh day Adventists. As I said, they don’t need to shout their faith.......they just live longer and healthier and happy than anyone.......and turn out doctors and surgeons like Dr. Ben Carson, arguably the world’s greatest brain surgeon.

But the geniuses here on FB know better. Especially the one who claimed because a bird broad back a leaf, hell, there must been lettuce out there. LOL! He’s a real Bible scholar I see. God tells Noah what clean meats he can eat.....clearly, Noah must have been a big meater before the flood then right?....Genius. Lots of geniuses here who read and study the Bible. It shows......

What specific parts of Adventism are false and not based on the Bible?

I already gave three: It dates back only to the 19th century, puts the ridiculous ramblings of Ellen G. White on a par with scripture and practice deceptive tactics.
